Select Update Account to save your changes.

Record an Outbound Call

FAQs

Does call recording cost extra?

Nope! Call recording is included within the base price of your account; there's no additional cost associated with using this feature.

How long are my recordings stored?

Call recordings are stored indefinitely.

Why are my recordings shorter than the length of the call?

Call recordings are typically shorter than the call duration because CallRail automatically trims off the silence at the beginning of the call, as well as the time that the caller spends on the phone while it is ringing.

Am I able to pause call recording in the middle of a call?

It’s not possible to pause call recording in the middle of a call; however, you are able to disable call recording on an existing tracking number to comply with legal or privacy needs.

Can I delete a call recording?

CallRail’s support team is able to delete recordings for you on the backend of your account. You can reach out to us with a list of the call URLs you’d like to be removed, and we’ll follow up once we’ve completed the task.

Can I download my recordings in bulk?

At this time, there’s not a way to bulk download recordings. If you’d like to download your recordings, you’ll navigate to the timeline for each call you’d like to download using the last set of instructions in this article.
